ARK Invest: Starlink Business Alone Could Support SpaceX's Nearly $2 Trillion IPO Valuation

2026.06.04 22:32:09

June 4 (CNBC) — Brett Winton, Chief Futurist at ARK Invest, told CNBC that SpaceX’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO) could rank among the most significant stock market debuts in history, with its satellite internet division Starlink alone supporting a valuation of nearly $2 trillion. SpaceX has priced its IPO at $135 per share, with shares set to begin trading on the NASDAQ exchange on June 12. The company’s pre-listing valuation is roughly $1.77 trillion, and it plans to sell 5.556 billion shares, raising approximately $750 billion total. Underwriters also hold an option to buy an additional 83.33 million shares at the IPO price, adding around $11.2 billion to the offering. After the IPO, Elon Musk will retain more than 82% of SpaceX’s voting control. Winton noted SpaceX’s growth extends beyond launch services—it’s closely tied to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI). ARK Invest projects that by 2030, the total enterprise value of companies developing and operating foundational AI models will hit $15 trillion to $20 trillion. While investors typically fixate on SpaceX’s reusable rockets, Winton emphasized Starlink is the cornerstone of ARK’s valuation logic. Currently, Starlink’s satellite constellation delivers about 500 terabits per second (Tbps) of bandwidth and generates roughly $13 billion in annual revenue. Once SpaceX rolls out its Starship rocket, the firm will drastically cut launch costs, allowing it to rapidly deploy many more satellites.

The asset size of leveraged semiconductor ETFs has shrunk by 39% from its June peak, marking the largest decline since April 2025.

According to data from the Kobeissi Letter, the assets under management (AUM) of leveraged semiconductor ETFs have fallen from their June peak of roughly $163 billion to $100 billion, a cumulative decline of about $63 billion, or 39%—the largest drop since April 2025. Semiconductor ETFs accounted for approximately 63% of all capital outflows from U.S. leveraged ETFs over the same period. Analysts argue that the sharp decline in AUM reflects capital flight rather than investors voluntarily taking profits. Since capital flows into leveraged ETFs are generally regarded as a real-time indicator of speculative positions, the large-scale capital outflow from the semiconductor sector sends a clear risk-off signal. From a cross-asset perspective, sentiment toward high-beta risky assets is broadly weak, and sustained outflows from leveraged tech stock positions tend to further tighten market liquidity. However, the current asset size of leveraged semiconductor ETFs is still around 400% higher than it was in January 2023, leaving room for additional capital outflows if market momentum continues to deteriorate. For MU contract traders on the Hyperliquid platform, past large-scale outflows from semiconductor leveraged funds have often coincided with significant directional swings in semiconductor stock prices, so the ongoing worsening capital flows can be seen as a leading indicator worth monitoring.

Multicoin Capital leads Trasia Labs' $1.75 million seed round, to expand into Hyperliquid's Asian perpetual trading market

Multicoin Capital, as the sole institutional investor, has injected $1.75 million into Trasia Labs’ seed round, marking its official entry into the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Trasia is a perpetual contract trading platform built natively on Hyperliquid, primarily targeting the Asian market. Co-founded by Mable Jiang—former partner at Multicoin Capital and ex-chief revenue officer of the Stepn team—and Web3 practitioner Edison Chen, Trasia officially launched its first web version on July 17, supporting both Chinese and English. A mobile app is scheduled for release in August, and the platform has already launched an invitation-only Asia Points loyalty program. Currently, Trasia integrates with Hyperliquid’s native perpetual market via a non-custodial model; it plans to roll out its own perpetual contracts based on the HIP-3 protocol, focusing on asset categories of high interest to Asian investors, including AI infrastructure and pre-IPO assets. Officials stated that over $35 million in HYPE and USDC has been allocated to support the Asian stock perpetual market and related ecosystem growth.
